An AuSn reflow process using hydrogen radicals as a way to avert the cleaning of flux residues was investigated for its application to solder bumping. AuSn particles (manufactured by a gas atomizer) smaller than 5 µm, which are difficult to reflow by conventional methods that use rosin mildly activated (RMA) flux, were used for the experiments. In this process, the reduction effect by the hydrogen radicals removes the surface oxides of the AuSn particles. Excellent wetting between 1-µm-diameter AuSn particles and Ni metallization occurred in hydrogen plasma. Using hydrogen radicals, 100 µm-diameter AuSn bumps without voids were successfully formed at a peak temperature of 300
